1. Getting Started

Getting Started

First, make sure that you have the API gateway running locally.

Start by cloning the repository from github to your execution environment

git clone https://github.com/resource-watch/task-executor.git && cd task-executor

After that, follow one of the instructions below:

Using native execution

1 - Set up your environment variables. See dev.env.sample for a list of variables you should set, which are described in detail in this section of the documentation. Native execution will NOT load the dev.env file content, so you need to use another way to define those values

2 - Install node dependencies using yarn:

yarn

3 - Start the application server:

yarn start

The endpoints provided by this microservice should now be available through Control Tower's URL.

Using Docker

1 - Create and complete your dev.env file with your configuration. You can find an example dev.env.sample file in the project root.

2 - Execute the following command to run Control tower:

./task.sh develop

The endpoints provided by this microservice should now be available through Control Tower's URL.

You can now access the microservice through the API gateway.

Configuration

It is necessary to define these environment variables:

• GATEWAY_URL => Control Tower URL
• NODE_ENV => Environment (prod, staging, dev)
